Food is Medicine

“The food you eat can either be the safest most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. “

Ann Wigmore. Founder of Hippocrates Health Institute

 

Over 133 million Americans live with at least one chronic disease and an alarming 2/3rds of all deaths in the US are caused by these chronic diseases. Not only is there an unnecessary loss of lives there is a tremendous loss of healthcare dollars. In 2010 the US spent over 18% of the GDP on healthcare. That is more that national defense, homeland security, education and welfare… combined! The good news is most of these death and financial losses are preventable and related to lifestyle factors, especially diet.

 

Join Thrive physicians as they review the medical benefits of a whole foods, plant based (not vegetarian) diet and discuss the evidence based research on the role of this diet in preventing, arresting and even reversing chronic disease. This four-part series has been incorporated into a hour of valuable information to easily adopt into your kitchen so you can begin to reap the medicinal benefits.
